I purchased this toaster primarily for bagels, but its slots are not quite deep enough by ~1/2", so the top edges are barely toasted on 50% of the bagels. Also, the browning is spotty on the lower settings. In order to get even browning, the setting has to be set to 5 or 6.

I was very disappointed with the quality of this toaster. The plastic knob & buttons are flimsy - not the Cuisinart quality I expected. Additionally, This toaster burns items unless it's at the very lowest settings (1-2).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best feature of this toaster is the price. It browns your toast very unevenly, the bottom is always dark & the top is very light. The bagel setting seems to brown both sides. Thick bagels will not fit, I found a store brand bagel that with a little coaxing will work ok.
